Six AA batteries provide about 5 hours of continuous use. It’s great for shooting videos on the go, or even for still photography. Check out a great video overview from B&H.

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Telephoto Zoom Lens	$1599.00 Deal Expired

	EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens	$579.95 Deal Expired

	EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Street Price	$1679.00 Deal Expired

AllNewShop via eBay (also known as GetItDigital) is now featuring two excellent grey market lens deals: the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II for $1749.99, and the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM for $579.95.

This is the first deal we’ve seen from this seller for a while — they were a complete no-show during the 2015 holiday season, and we can’t help but wonder if the on-going litigation is the cause. They are a reliable grey market dealer, for which a Canon USA warranty is not guaranteed.

If you’re concerned about purchasing grey market, for about $40-50 more you can purchase brand new through our street price program from authorized dealers:

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM II street price is $1799
Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM street price is $619

Street Price Specials: 35mm f/1.4L II $1629, 200-400L $8699
